We traditionally do this in my family by driving around the parking lot until we see a shopper emerge from the mall, then we follow her, in very much the same spirit as the Three Wise Men, who 2,000 years ago followed a star, week after week, until it led them to a parking space. ~Dave Barry
Oh, for the good old days when people would stop Christmas shopping when they ran out of money. ~Author Unknown

Twine mistletoe and holly.
For a friendship glows
In winter snows,
